I have a habit I picked up years ago, that my friend thought was silly. Whenever I shut off a saw, weedeater or anything w/ a pull rope for a period of time or for storage, I always pull the piston to TDC to keep foreign junk or insects out of the cylinder. If I remember, even the Honda motors, say on a generator or splitter, have a notch on the flywheel cover to indicate TDC and recommend this.
So, is it really necessary to do it?
